Phnom Penh
Thursday, 20 May 2010
The ruling Cambodian People’s Party celebrated an annual day to remember the Khmer Rouge on Thursday, an occasion the opposition said was politically calculating and not useful.
May 20 was formerly known as the Day of Anger, for Khmer Rouge atrocities. The CPP celebrates the day every year, as “a reminder” so that it will not happen again, government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Thursday.
The CPP held a ceremony “for national reconciliation” and “to remember our pain” under the regime, Khieu Kanharith said.
However, opposition figures did not see it that way.
